#11526: unsafeLookupStaticPtr should not live in IO -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: edsko | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Core Libraries | Version: 8.0.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by facundo.dominguez): Currently all static names in a statically linked module are inserted in the SPT before the program starts executing main. When the module is loaded dynamically, the static names are inserted at load time. Making {{{unsafeLookupStaticPtr}}} pure will require changing the implementation so linking modules dynamically do not modify the SPT. It will also require doing something so the table is available when the function is used in (code loaded in) GHCi, unless nobody cares of breaking that. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11526#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
